THE RELIEF OF EMTN PASTA.
From the Times.J

few days for Zanzibar. He IS look
ing better than he has done for a
long time, and is in the best of health.
He evidently means to keep his plans
to himself until he is fairly started;
the only thing that is certain, he pro-
~fesSes, is that he goes to Africa. He
assures lis that the telegram stating
that he has made arrangements with
Tippoo Tip to accompany him is pre-
mature. The idea is, however, so
daring a masterstroke, and so much
in keeping with all Mr.. Stanlcy's past
that we may well believe there is
something in the telegram. Tippoo
Tip the Arab ivory and slave hunter,
is at this moment probably the most
powerful man in all Central Africa.
In men and means his resources are
practically unlimited. His agents and
his raiders will be found in all dlrec-
tions from Nyangwe or rather Kn-
Songe as his centre. 1t is doubtless
his Arabs who have wrecked the
Stanley Falls Station, a catas'ro-
Lhe which might have occurred at
any time in the past had it not been
for Tippoo's friendship for The white
chiefs of the station; for even he,
SLAYER as he is, has his own sense of
honour; and we should remember
that il his eyes slave-raiding is as
legitimate as elephant hunting. He
has his agents in Muscat and India
to whom every year he sends his vast
stores, and his wealth, whatever
shape it may take, is probably as
enormous as his power. Letters just
received from DR.. LEM, who, it may
be remembered, went out to seek for
DIR. Junker and Emin Pasha, give a
very striking idea, not only Of Tip
poo's greatness, but Of the great
changes which he and his fellow Arabs
are bringing owe the face OF the
country in the neighbourhood Of the
Upper Congo. DR.. LEM, by Tip
pools liberal assistance, %journeyed up
The Congo TO Nyangwe, taking about
SO days, including stoppnges, by the
way. All along the river great chan
ges have taken place since Mr.. Stan
ley's memorable journey down some
ten years ago. In many places the
natives have disappeared from the
banks, and large Arab and Zanzibar
settlements have taken their place.
For Tippoo Tip, though the most
noyerful Arab trader in the region,
has formidable rivals, though at pre-
sem they live at peace with each o,her.
In many places along the banks ex-
tensive fields of rice are found, and
all round Nyangwe and Kasonge, the
country is covered with such fields
and with plantations OF all kinds.
Nyangwe is no longer the important
place it was in the days of Living
stone or at the time of Stanley's first
visit. Three days distance off is ka-
songe, TiF4oo'c headquarters, a large
town, with broad streets and many
fine houses. Here also are other
great Arab traders, and here Tippoo
receives visits .iroP his Muscat agents.

ton is evidently going on at an in

Happy HOne4.

Much has been written and said about
how to make home happy. The moralist
and the preacher have hackneyed this
theme until it would seem nothing more re-
manned to be said. But the philosophers
have gone far out OF their way to account
for the prevalence of ill-assorted couples
and unhappy homes, and have overlooked
the chief cause. Most Of the unhappiness

TURKEY-RAlSING,
The Great Secret of Success in Profitable
Branch of the Poultry business.


Turkeys under favoring circum-
stances are the most profitable of farm
poultry. They live and grow finely on
what they gather for themselves from
the woods and fields. They flourish
best on those dry, half-barren tracts
where grasshoppers and similar insects
most abound. Where there is a scarcity
of woods and their favorite game they
take to the meadows and grain fields
and sometimes trample and injure them
as badly as flock of sheep, though
they more frequently range so widely
that their injury of growing crops is
very slight in any one place. The
turkey hen if not permitted to sit will
generally lay two broods of eggs and
sometimes three. Turkey raisers who
desire to make the most of their means
generally employ common hens for
hatchers, though they are no better
sitters or mothers than the turkey. The
turkey is essentially wild fowl and
the eggs require very careful handling
if taken from the nest. In fact they
rarely hatch so well as when left in the
nest
Not infrequently the hen if left en-
tirely to herself produces two full
broods of young in season. though
this is far from a general rule. The
young birds are very tender. and when
artifcially raised require delicate treat
ment, but the parent bird who hides
her nest under fence or heap of
brush generally matches all her eggs
and continues in some way to provide
for all their necessities. The great Sc
cret of success in turkey raising is to
give them plenty of natural food when
they come after it and let them alone
Sometimes whole focks are destroyed
by beasts and birds of prey, and again
they mysteriously disappear without
leaving as much as feather behind
spirited away like registered letters.
Little has been done in the way of de-
veloping breeds or varieties, though the
Bronze and Narragansett are recog-
nized as distinct breeds. Size and early
maturity may be improved by judicious
selection of stock birds. Deterioration
is sure to result from the too common
practice of keeping culls and late
Matched birds for breeders.-O. S. Bliss,
in n. 7. Tribune.

THE CREDIT SYSTEM.
why Country Me-.hants Should Stand To
gether for Its Abolition.


A Canadian commercial newspaper
makes strong and sensible plea
against the credit system of doing bust
ness. which prevails generally in the
rural districts of that country. There
are stores in many of the country
towns and villages, the writer says,
where a cash transaction is unknown.
Every thing is booked, and the mer-
chant collects his bills when he can, if
he collects them at all. This is not, in
many cases, because the purchaser
lacks means to pay with, "but simply
from the ingrained habit of demanding
credit as right, and looking upon the
payment of cash as giving in some I'M
defined way an undue advantage to the
storekeeper."
How many places there are in this
country where precisely the same sys-
tenn prevails. Customers from sheer
force of habit let their store bills run
for weeks and months when they could
as well pay them as not, thus keeping
the merchant out of money which he
could use to the profit of both by dis
counting his own bills for cash; for, as
matter of course, the cheaper the
merchant can buy his goods the better
the bargains he can offer his custom
ers. 1t is indeed more to the interest
of the latter than himself that his bust
ness be conducted as nearly as possible
on a cash basis, because in any event
he must have his own profit, whether
his goods be sold high or low, and the
cash customer gets the profit in the
eaa.
The credit system is at best expen-
sive, and to the extent that it is unnec-
essary it is vicious and demoralizing.
The community that is sharp, wide
awake and up with the times will do its
business on a cash basis, thus getting
the benefit of the very lowest prices
and closest margins which the rapid
turning over of money always obtains.
The retail merchants of the rural dis
tricts should stand together for the
abolition of the perverted credit sys-
tenn wherever it exists.-Chicdgo Jour
nal.

1t is not an uncommon error to
suppose that animals that eat but little
are the most profitable. So long as an
animal is capable of digesting and as
silniliating 1t, the greater the amount
of good food it consumes the more
profitable are the returns; for the pro-
portion of the food that goes to supply
the waste of tissue and run the animal
machinery is less when large than
when a small amount is eaten.-St
